deficit reduction measures over the last several decades have been paired with increases in the debt ceiling. almost 30 years ago we had the balanced budget and emergency deficit control act of 1985, otherwise known as gramm-rudman-hollings. i was a staffer here at the time. that was done in the context of the debt ceiling. we've had several measures in the 1990's that reduced our deficits that were done in association with an increase in the debt ceiling. most recently -- we all remember this -- the budget control act of 2011 which resulted in restraint largely on the discretionary side of the budget, which many of us would like to change, but it's also resulted for the first time since the 1950's in two consecutive years where the federal government spent less than it spent the previous year, first time since the korean war. the common denominator is that these deals were paired with an increase in the debt ceiling. so, mr. president, the point i'm trying to make here is that for those of my friends who are arguing that negotiating around our debt ceiling is unprecedented, perhaps
